But we saved everything 🙂.
Austen Allred, founder / CEO at BloomTech, outlines a switch to an Assumed Par Value formula for calculating certain fees. The simplified formula is based on gross assets, issued shares, and authorized shares—multiplied by 0.0004—with a $400 minimum and a $200,000 cap, or $250,000 for large filers.
Allred notes that pre-revenue startups with modest assets would likely pay near the minimum threshold.
Allred previously argued that current markets are supported by real cashflow and profits, distinguishing them from earlier speculative periods such as the dotcom boom, in a recent commentary. He has also calculated that the average American pays $525,000 in lifetime federal taxes, comparing this figure to notable fraud cases, including those involving L.A. hospices, as detailed in a prior article. These past analyses add further context to his perspectives on financial structures and regulatory costs.
